Thank you so much. This is so helpful. How long after the first mastectomy did you have the second one. How did the recovery for each surgery go? Were they similar?

@toomanyquestions I think it was Feb. and June but not sure. Might have been April for the second one. Recovery was similar for both, not that difficult.

I had a paravertebral block both times but the first time they still gave me dilaudid and I vomited a lot. Second time I was very vocal about NOT giving me pain meds and I felt fine after surgery.
